Baseline appointment

Well this morning I had my baseline appointment.  What this is for is to take a look at my ovaries to see what they look like after 3 weeks of birth control and to see follicles prior to any hormone injections.  I will go in Tuesday morning for blood work in the morning and I will also take. Class to show how and when to do the injections(after 18 years of diabetes I should be a pro) haha!   We have one more Christmas to attend tomorrow and then we will be done with our Christmas celebrations.  We had a great time at the Bray Christmas on Wednesday and we celebrated my sides yesterday at our house!  We really enjoy having one a our house, we changed up the traditional Christmas meal and had homeade Mexican food instead and it was delicious!!  My mom couldn't resist and gave us a bear that says The Lord's Prayer and a small little pre-baby book... Which of course made me cry!  I wouldn't say tears of sadness or joy, just tears of bring overwhelmed.  Everything has moved so fast.. It doesn't seem like all of this started in September.  So hard to believe in two weeks we will be getting ready for my egg retrieval!  The whole process is so amazing!  Since my last entry we have had two people come forward- one went to college with Thomas and one was his professor.. Bob families are going thorough the IVF process.  These are the reasons we have out our story out there, to help others and if nothing else just be an ear to listen-- to be able to say I understand whatyou're going   through.  Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, so be kind.  I know in my heart and mind that God has choose us for this journey for a reason and we are blessed.  Whether at the end of this we have a Baby in our arms or just each other each step of it has been absolutely worth it.  God chose Lacy and Paul to share in this journey with us and he sure knee what he was doing because they are so much more than family to us.  It takes an extremely special person to open their hearts and minds to this.  They have done it with with both and for them to come to us with this gift is 100% God sent.  To those of you reading this that need an ear, I'm here.  To those of you that want to know, ask.  Please don't assume something that you know nothing about.  We say our prayers every night and most of the time I'm praying for people that need guidance of their own.. I'm by no means perfect but The Lord thinks I'm good just the way I am, and at the end of the day that's the only approval I need.
